Chapter 229 Turkic apprentice
Chapter 229 Turkic disciples
Wang Ping'an first made a gesture to Wu Youren, indicating that he should not panic, and then said to Shi Zhongchen: "Sir Shi, this child is indeed a Turkic man, and his Chinese name is Wu Youren. His father and grandparents have also been in the grassland for some time and were in trouble to Chang'an. I took in them and their mother and son. They have the ability to brew wine and can brew strong wine!"
Shi Zhongchen said with a sneer and said, "Wu Youren, it sounds like a pseudonym. Those Turks like to be mysterious and lose their ancestors' pastures and run to Zhongzhong to sell wine..." As he said that, he squatted down and smelled the wine.
Wu Youren is the grandson of the Turkic prince. He doesn't like to speak Central Plains, which does not mean that he can't speak. He heard Shi Zhongchen's tone full of contempt, and he shouted: "I will definitely take back the pasture of our ancestors!"
"What are you talking nonsense at the kid's house?" Wu took two steps from the house, slapped Wu Youren in the face.
Wu was busy in the house, and her son broke the jar of wine, but it was nothing. She didn't come out to see it at the first time, but suddenly she heard someone talking outside and her son said something about the ancestor's pasture. She ran out in a hurry and slapped her son in the face, telling him not to speak nonsense!
Wu and her husband suffered a disaster on the grassland and fled to the Central Plains. When her husband arrived in Chang'an, she died again. She was afraid that she would die suddenly one day, so that her young son forgot the hatred of his ancestors. So she kept telling her son about the things on the grassland, so she kept telling her son about what was on the grassland, so she remembered her identity and must return to the grassland and regain what originally belonged to him!
Wu Youren was very impressed by the things on the grassland and never forgot it for a while. But after all, he was young and had no experience in dealing with things, so he couldn't stand it. Today, he was stimulated by Shi Zhongchen and even let it go!
After being beaten, Wu Youren did not cry like an ordinary child, but stood stubbornly. A manly man only bleed but not cry. This kind of human style has been deeply imprinted in his mind.
But after Wu beat the child, his eyes couldn't help but turn red. He reached out and pulled his son, held it in his arms, gently stroked the top of his head, and comforted him softly!
Shi Zhongchen just said casually that no one looked down on the people of the Tang Dynasty in this era, especially those who are arrogant like him, not to mention the fallen princes of the Turkic Khan, even the son of the Turkic Khan now, he might not take it seriously. Seeing Wu so excited, he was a little surprised and turned around to look at Wang Ping'an.
Wang Ping'an was quite embarrassed. The declining prince's status was special. He was so poor that he could not put down his airs. He was very sensitive. He never discriminated against the Wu family and his son, but it did not mean that others would do the same.
Wang Ping'an said: "This child's identity is already a thing of the past, and it is boring to mention it. I think he is a talented person, so I asked someone to do an errand for him, and go to the Wei Mansion to be a small officer, and work hard for our Tang Dynasty in the future and live a peaceful life!"
Shi Zhongchen said with a voice, "He is your servant? Well, if you have a bright future in the future, you can take some retainers."
Wu Youren poked his head out of his mother's arms and shouted: "I am not someone's servant, I am me!"
Wu said angrily: "You are talking too much!"
Wang Ping'an hurriedly said, "He is not my servant, he can only be regarded as... Well, I have improved the method of brewing wine and passed it on to him. He is my apprentice!"
Shi Zhongchen could not tell that Wu Youren was the descendant of the Turkic prince. He had seen many such destruction. Not to mention when the Tang Dynasty replaced the former Sui Dynasty, even when Li Shimin eliminated the remnants of Li Jiancheng, he had seen many princes and nobles who were pushed to the court. Many of them were executed by him personally!
He didn't care, but Shi Zhongchen laughed and said, "Not sick, it's a coincidence that you took a Turkic prince grandson as your apprentice."
Wu didn't know who Shi Zhongchen was. She was very reluctant to mention this matter. She changed the topic and said, "Mr. Wang, I finally brewed a batch of the kind of strong wine you mentioned. It is strong enough, but it is very angry and tastes bad. I guess I have to be buried in the soil. It will only taste sweet and mellow after a year or two."
Wang Ping'an was overjoyed and said, "You have been brewing. I've been too busy these days and have never cared about this. Hurry up, let's try it. Lord Shi, come together, too?"
Shi Zhongchen's attention was immediately shifted. He stood up from the ground and said, "In our life, we can't say anything else, but we prefer the things in this cup, the more intense the better, but we dare not drink too much. On the one hand, we are afraid that the emperor will think that our mouths are smelly, and on the other hand, we are afraid that drinking too much will make a mistake. If you have strong wine, you will take it out for our family to taste. When you leave, you will put a small bottle and take a sip. This is the joy of life!"
He and Wang Ping'an were talking while walking into the house. When Wu heard Shi Zhongchen talk about "Emperor", he couldn't help but be curious and whispered behind him: "Prince Wang, who is this lord?"
Wang Ping'an turned around and smiled, "This is a close minister of the emperor, the chief supervisor of the palace, Lord Shi!"
Wu shouted, his expression changed drastically. He didn't know what she was thinking, but he was stunned and motionless.
After entering the room, Wang Ping'an turned around and asked, "Where is the wine?"
"Ah, here!" Wu came back to his senses, hurried into the house, took a jar, poured out two large bowls, respectfully delivered them to Shi Zhongchen and Wang Ping'an.
Wang Ping'an tasted it and was very happy. The wine was almost done, and it was probably about fifty degrees, but although the degree was higher, the taste was bad. It seemed that it had to be improved!
Shi Zhongchen tasted it and said in surprise: "Oh, what kind of wine is this? How come it is made? It's so spicy. Our tongue is numb!"
He likes to drink strong alcohol, but no matter what kind of strong alcohol he has ever drunk, he cannot compare with the bowl in his hand. This is not wine, it is simply a knife. As soon as it enters his mouth, his tongue feels like it was cut by a knife, and it is hard to bear the pain.
It’s not that people who are greedy for drinking must love to drink strong alcohol. They have to get used to it. Even if they are a big drunk, they may not applaud immediately when drinking extremely strong alcohol for the first time. They have to adapt for a while before they can succeed!
Shi Zhongchen said silently: "Oh, we have a fire in our mouths. This wine is so powerful, just like a knife!"
Wang Ping'an laughed and said, "Okay, thanks to Lord Shi's praise, even if this wine is famous, it's called "Burning a knife!"
"Burn the knife? OK, OK, OK, it's called Burn the knife!" Shi Zhongchen was very excited and drank the whole bowl of wine in small sips. As soon as he finished drinking, his head began to get a little confused!
Wang Ping'an hurriedly said, "Mr. Shi, are you okay? Do you want me to prescribe a sausage soup for you?"
Shi Zhongchen waved his hand and smiled, "What you want is this energy. If you relieve the wine, it will be boring!" He shakingly said, "No, our family can't stay anymore, and we can't go back if we stay again. Change, come and see you again the next day!"
Wang Ping'an hurriedly helped him and sent him out in person. Wu poured out a small bottle of wine and handed it to Wang Ping'an, asking him to pass it on to Shi Zhongchen. She followed behind and wanted to say something, but saw that Shi Zhongchen didn't like to answer her very much, so she had to hold back and not say anything, but her expression became more complicated and she was worried.
Shi Zhongchen was sent out of the Inspiration Temple by Wang Ping'an. After saying a few polite words, Ouyang Li escorted all the way to the palace.
After returning to the palace, the alcohol came up. Shi Zhongchen couldn't say anything about the excitement. The feeling of drinking this strong wine was different from the usual wine. He touched his pocket. There was a bottle of strong wine that Wang Ping'an gave him before leaving.
Shi Zhongchen took out the bottle of wine and thought to himself: "I have to talk to the emperor about this and make him happy!" He shook all the way and walked towards the Ganlu Palace.
At this time, Li Shimin was having dinner when he suddenly saw Shi Zhongchen coming in and his face was flushed. He couldn't help but frown and scolded: "You old dog are getting more and more confused about the rules!"
In normal times, Shi Zhongchen must be scared to fall down, but now he is comfortable and excited, and is not afraid. Instead, he walked closer and said, "Your Majesty, I have seen something new today!"
Li Shimin frowned. After all, Shi Zhongchen has been with him for many years, so he would not have to be punished for a small matter. He put down his chopsticks and said, "What's the matter? Tell me!"
Shi Zhongchen knelt in front of the emperor, laughing and telling the story of robbing his son-in-law in the Inspiration Temple. This matter is quite interesting. Li Shimin was very happy when he heard it, and laughed and said, "I have also heard of robbing his son-in-law. However, it was in the former Sui Dynasty. Emperor Yang was foolish and entered the palace by the folk selection of girls. As a result, the people were shocked and they all pulled their son-in-law on the street. Unexpectedly, this happened in our Tang Dynasty, and it was pulled in the monk temple!"
Shi Zhongchen did not dare to say that Wang Ping'an was a lay disciple. When he looked for an opportunity to tell Princess Gaoyang privately, he would not let the emperor know that the emperor would be sad!
Historically, Li Shimin was indeed heartbroken because of Princess Gaoyang and Bian Ji, and his condition worsened and he died soon after! However, by chance, Princess Gaoyang moved his target with the appearance of Wang Ping'an, and Wang Ping'an would never be like her, and so Li Shimin might be able to live longer.
Shi Zhongchen took out the bottle of wine from his arms and placed it on the table, saying, "Wang Ping'an made someone brew a kind of strong wine. This wine is strong enough. After drinking it, my uncle will feel comfortable in my body. However, you can't drink it yet. Let me test it for you first. If it's okay, the emperor will drink it again."
Although this old dog is a little disobedient now, his loyalty to the emperor is just visible from this moment. Li Shimin felt a little moved in his heart, sighed, and said, "It must be an old man. I can remember me in everything, but not like those children..."
After opening the wine bottle and only smelling it, Li Shimin frowned and said, "This wine is too strong, it must be brewed by the Hu people. But we Central Plains people don't like drinking such strong wine!"
Shi Zhongchen said: "The emperor is wise. This wine is not brewed by the Hu people. Wang Ping'an accepted a fallen prince of the Turks as his apprentice. This wine was brewed by that apprentice!"
Li Shimin was slightly stunned and said, "The fallen prince? The Turks? Which tribe? When did you enter Beijing? Are you in the Inspiration Temple now?"
